"I'm doing this for my kids," he said.
And it's not just his kids who will have been impressed, with fans loving it, too.
"The Greek Freak is so entertaining to watch. On and off the court," one wrote on Twitter, while another asked: "Am I the only one loving Giannis?"
"This guy is one of funniest dudes in the league," posted another. A fourth added: "He IS the Hulk."
Damian Lillard bounced back from an off night to add 25 points against the Heat, which was the team that the former Portland star initially wanted to be traded to.
"There really was no extra energy toward that, I think, on either side," Lillard said.

Antetokounmpo remained in costume throughout his press conference.
He said the Bucks needed to maintain their intensity as they attempt to get back to the top of the NBA.
“Once you’re up 20, you’ve got to put them away,” Antetokounmpo said. “You’ve got to put them away. We weren’t able to do that tonight. Hopefully we can learn from this.”
